PEM Guide

The Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) is seeking to engage additional PEM Guides! As a Guide, you are a volunteer who supports the museum's mission by leading groups of participants of all ages in conversational, interactive explorations of PEM's exhibitions and creative spaces. Guides host innovative museum experiences, helping audiences delve deeper into special exhibitions, historic houses and gardens, collection highlights, and special topics. PEM Guides will work with a wide range of audiences, including groups of K-12 students, college/university students, pre-booked adult groups, walk-in museum visitors, pre-booked special needs audiences, and VIPs.

PEM Guides will be expected to contribute 6-10 hours each month and attend on-going training sessions that will be essential in learning new programs and exploring museum content. This is an unpaid opportunity.

PEM is committed to enhancing diversity in its staff, volunteers, visitors, exhibitions and programs while promoting an inclusive environment. We seek candidates who can contribute to our goals and encourage you to apply and to identify your strengths in these areas.
